From space, the planet of Hoth looked like a pale blue orb due to its dense snow and ice covering. Five planets existed between Hoth and its sun, while an asteroid belt surrounded the planet with meteors occasionally striking the surface.[8] Its surface was covered with glaciers and frozen ice plains.[3] The temperature, although always frigid, was known to drop to -60°C come nightfall.[8] Although devoid of intelligent life, Hoth was home to fifteen species of large gray snow lizards called tauntauns and to a species of towering predators known as wampas.[6][8]
